CHILDREN'S MASTERCLASSES IN ARTS AND CRAFTS
"FAMILY" AND "DADDY, MOMMY AND ME - A HAPPY FAMILY" 6+
Irina Anikanova, People's Master of Russia, well-known in
Bryansk region, invites young visitors to the pavilion to join a fascinating
"Family" masterclass on creating folk dolls. Participants will be
able to plunge into the creative world and make unique characters.
At the masterclass "Daddy, Mommy and Me - a Happy
Family" guests will create their own family compositions from salt dough
under the guidance of folk master Andrei Zel, who will gladly demonstrate all
the subtleties of working with this unusual material
Pavilion D, March 1, 13:30 - 15:00
MASTERCLASS ON DRAWING ON WATER 6+
Guests will be able to get acquainted with the modern and
magical Ebru water painting technique. Instead of a canvas, special water is
used in which the colors are spread in the most incredible way. You can create
only a single copy of the painting, because it is impossible to replicate it
exactly. This fascinating activity is very suitable for both adults and
children. It develops imagination and creative thinking, and also helps to
relieve stress.
Pavilion C1 "Family. Work. Longevity", March 1,
12:00 - 13:00
CITY THROUGH THE EYES OF A CAT 12+
This unusual documentary offers viewers a chance to see
Amsterdam through the eyes of its animal inhabitants. The story
"narrated" by the cat Fritz reminds us that the city exists not only
for people. Millions of other, sometimes unnoticed inhabitants adapt to the
streets, canals, brick and reinforced concrete buildings and feel as
comfortable (or not so comfortable) here as in the primordial nature. The
perfect movie to celebrate Cat Day on March 1.
Pavilion E, March 1, 13:15 - 14:45
